Opis

In Haiku Bead Circles and More, the author describes a new approach to writing haiku poetry by using a wall calendar with pictures from nature as a writing prompt and then explains how to use the same illustrations from the wall calendar to make paper beads. So, as a result, the paper beads have a close connection to the poetry. A simple straightforward "formula" for writing haiku poetry is provided with numerous examples. The step-by-step process for making the beads is clear, concise, and well-illustrated. Because haiku poetry is all about nature, the process of writing the poetry transforms the writer into a more skilled observer who feels a sense of connection to the universe. This is a perfect book for crafters, writers, artists, and workshop presenters who will want to teach the art of writing haiku poetry as well as the process of paper-bead-making. This is a great way to "upcycle" old calendars and maps.
